The specific notability guidelines for musicians/albums/songs/etc. can be found at WP:MUSIC. The article claims an album which charted and having a charted album makes a performer notable. I don't see a whole lot of sources, however, so if there are any reliable ones, they would be a big help. TN‑X-Man20:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it mentions a single song. The claim of rising to the "top of the Billboard charts" seems to be a somewhat liberal interpretation. According to the Billboard mention I was able to find, the song peaked at 14 under "Hot Dance Club Play" in 2005. Does that constitute "the top of the Billboard charts"?TheDarkOneLives (talk) 20:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, according to Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles (point #2), any song that charts on a national chart counts. I agree that the "top" of the chart mentioned in the article is a loose interpretation indeed. However, it did get to #14 and the best solution may be to remove the vague "top of the chart" phrase and replace it with the exact position. Cheers! TN‑X-Man21:36, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
